Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
  • 0.25 tsp (1g) black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp (2g) garlic powder
  • 2 large (100g) eggs
  • 0.5 cup (120ml) Greek yogurt
  • 0.25 cup (60ml) olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1.5 cups (225g) grated zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (115g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 stalks (30g) green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions:

  1. Grate the zucchini using the large holes of the grater. Place the shreds into a clean kitchen towel and twist tightly over the sink to expel as much water as possible until it feels like a damp sponge.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until fully incorporated.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined; stop as soon as flour streaks disappear.
  5. Gently fold in the squeezed zucchini, shredded cheddar, and sliced green onions.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups in a prepared muffin tin.
  7. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden-brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
